240GL Unknown Electrical Problem 1984

First of all, without taking it to a dealer, I don't know very many people that work on foreign cars around here. I like this one because he's honest which is a good thing when he totally has the upper hand because like I said, this car isn't an old mustang. As far as describing the problem, I'm doing the best I can. I'm sure it would be great if I knew the name of everything under the hood and knew exactly what each problem sounded like, but then I wouldn't be here. I'm assuming the clicking is coming from under the hood considering the starter has been replaced and all the stuff inside the car works. I'm well aware that the starter could have been a used part or something and may be faulty, but in trying to use my own logic since that's all i have in this case, I would think that if it was the starter itself, NOTHING would get any power. Like I said, the radio and lights and whatnot are getting power. Read what B.C. said in his post, and see if it sounds right to you. I think it's worth getting someone to look at, but again, I don't know. I'm basically at the mercy of anyone who could possibly know anything whatsoever. I'm trying to think of more stuff I can tell you. The main thing I can think of is that it runs. It's just if it doesn't cool off for about 10 or 15 minutes in between it running for a while and trying to crank it, it does the not starting thing. It's like the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I have a feeling it's one of those things that it would have to happen to your car for you to completely see what's going on. Just read the post I was talking about, and tell me what you think if you feel like it.
